Typing in web email is very slow

Hi,
I purchased a new Dell laptop with inbuilt Vista 32 bit. When ever I type
emails in web based like hotmail and yahoo, my keyboard cursor goes very
slow. It is really very slow and I have to type the matter in word and then
cut and past it. I restart the system but same in both hotmail and yahoo.
Please help.
My laptop is updated as of date for wndows and all requred drivers.
I am using McAfee AntiVirus software.

Several points (and questions):

1. Are you saying that typing in IE is very slow, but typing elsewhere
is OK?

2. How slow is "very slow"? Please put a number on it, even if just
approximate.

3. What is your hardware configuration? In particular, how much RAM do
you have?

4. How long have you had the computer.

5. You say you use McAfee AntiVirus. Sorry to tell you, but that's the
second worst anti-virus program available. Only Norton is worse.

6. You say what anti-virus program you use, but you say nothing about
what anti-spyware software you run. Unless you run at least one (and
preferably two or more) anti-spyware programs, you are not adequately
protected.

7. Is your security software (McAfee and anything else you run) kept
up to date?

Despite the above questions, I don't strongly suspect that your
problem is malware infection, if it's only IE that seems slow. But
answer the questions, please.

1. Typing in web email window is slow. The curser moves slow. I type normally
but after sometimes the characters are visible on the screen.
It is a new laptop only few days.
It is Dell C2D with 3 GB RAM 320 GB HDD
It was preloaded with McAfee Suite. I will remove this and give a try.
I am not using any spyware applications on my laptop just antivirus.
Windows and Mcafee is updated daily.
Otherwise out of web mail my laptop is just normal.

To all helpers here: I think the key wording here is WEB MAIL.

Who is your ISP and what type of connection to the internet do you have?

An email scanner set up in McAfee will also cause this issue.

Your hardware sounds fine.


> It was preloaded with McAfee Suite. I will remove this and give a try.


No, I don't recommend running with *no* security software. I recommend
replacing McAfee with something better, not eliminating anti-virus
software entirely. The best anti-virus is NOD32 and if you want a free
one, get Avast.


> I am not using any spyware applications


Good. Use *anti*-spyware applications. If you use none you are playing
with fire. As I said I recommend running at least two, and the two
best are both freeware: MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and
SuperAntiSpyware.

It seems to me that is exactly the issue.
The first thing I did was to get rid of McAfee on my machine and never was
sorry for it. There are plenty of other and more effective programs out
there, even free ones.

This is not any browser window, but rather 'web email' only.

For the sake of argument you could be right.

Because it's Java-based
Do youself a favor &join professionals.

Email has been born & still used with what we call "Email Client"
Web interface was rceated for computer dummies, the kind of people who back
in the old days couldn't even set up their VCR.

Use a client, my friend.
Like Windows Mail, Thunderbird or in th eold days we used OutlookExpress.
i am against Windows7 LiveMail but it's your choice if you try you may like
it.

Quit using Web EXCEPT when you're away from home, in a hotel, etc it's the
usual method - Web maeil, otherwise on your own computer use a client.
The fundam,ental difference is that a client downloads messages to your
local harddisk, while Web interface shows somethign residing on a remote
server until you save it, but I dont have time to explain why it's not
something you should be concerned with.

If you listen to web-mail proponents, following the same logic you might
give up your car & rent each time you need to get around, because well it's
dangerous to drive own car as you might crash, collide, whatever... this
logic is not for professionals.
I drive my own car and i read emails in my own client, NOT on the Web.
